got a sweet offer on my 2002 SS today?

**5second** · 10-01-2008, 04:48 PM

I have a 2002 convert./SS/SLP/CME

I do love this car but just curious how much of a profit makes a deal to sweet to turn away from? I've only had the car a few weeks though. I know the car is a little rare and maybe hard to replace but this guy is serious and has his cash! I have a headache right about now.

If it's my DD, i'd sell it, buy a cheaper LS1. if i didn't put more than 3-5k miles a year, then i'd probably keep it.

**camarojunky74** · 10-02-2008, 05:57 PM

dude, if you can make a buck, do it, their are some serious deals going down right now, ive seen some bad ass 02 ss cme, all the options go for like 10, just gotta keep an eye out on craigslist and ebay and such.

that is if your not attached already, ive had my 02 for about 1 and a half, and there is no way i could sell it

**5second** · 10-03-2008, 04:27 AM

Well the SS is not my DD. I'm just not sure if I'll have sellers remourse or not.
Anyway the deal is I still want to have something sporty to play with. So this is a second deal I was offered his what seems to be nice 2000 trans am and cash to boot. or straight cash. trying to figure out which offer to take. The trans am and cash sound pretty tempting; either way I'll be on the plus side though.

**MatteBlackZ28** · 10-03-2008, 05:06 AM

with the cash he's offering lok around and see what you can get,if nothing interest you,take the trans am+cash offer and mod it

**BrntWS6** · 10-03-2008, 02:04 PM

I think it depends on how much your going to come out ahead in the deal.

I'm pretty attached to my car, bought it new in 2001 as a 2002 car and a rare color with only 16k miles on it. It's been garage kept under a car cover and seen rain probably twice. Has bolt-ons but I have all the original parts. I personally wouldn't take less than 50k for it, I know that's an absurd amount but that's what it would take for me to part with it.

Ha! You have TWICE the mileage mine has, and it's never been in the rain.

I'm with you. Mine is worth more to me than money.

If the cost of the trans am + the cash you come out significantly ahead on the deal then do it, remind him its hard to get people to sell things they dont want to sell in the first place, hell probably throw down more cash if hes serious about getting the car.

That's great dude.

Thanks for the replies. I will meet with him today and we will see what happens. I will post what the outcome was tonight.

**5second** · 10-04-2008, 05:43 PM

Well guy I took the Trans am plus cash. So i now am a bird owner.
2000 T/A WS6 hood, chrome WS6 wheels, 62k mile. car and engine looks mint. really pretty car though but will miss my 2002 conv. SS.

hmmm, not a bad thing, still pretty good mileage on her.

i probably would have chose the same thing...depending on the cash.

**5second** · 10-04-2008, 06:38 PM

just curious now. whats a 2002 ss,conv,slp,cme worth compared to whats a 2000 trans am,ws6 hood, chrome ws6 wheels
assuming both cars are clean and blah blah.

**c5z28** · 10-04-2008, 06:52 PM

if both are cherry in a good market you could get almost 4000 more for the ss conv. Main reasons being ss newer, has ls6 manifold, is 35th anniversary and has the slp option. In this market anything goes.

i'm not sure if his was a 35th though, since it was triple black. but yeah, $4000 could be right depending on mileage.

**5second** · 10-04-2008, 07:01 PM

for what ive read only the red 2002 ss are true 35th's even though all 2002's are the 35th year and thus has a 35th badge like mine over the radio.

i doubt i'm qualified to talk on the difference, but maybe the red is called a 35th anniv. edition, while every other 02 ss is a 35th anniv. car

**95camaroZNC** · 10-04-2008, 07:04 PM

eh, did you not kelly blue book both cars before you did this?

**5second** · 10-04-2008, 07:16 PM

eh... yeah the kelly book says the ss is worth more. I'm trying to get street value. blue book is just a guide line right. guys on here thats been around these cars a long time know about better than a book what things are worth on the real life market.
